Drove from Redding to the coast last Sunday, saw many bikes being hauled out in trucks/trailers, they were dirty, so obviously they rode them in the area.
Also saw 2 dual sport bikes on the road, very muddy as well.
Did not get to check anything out since I was following Bro and meeting a Son in Crescent City, so time did not permit any research.
I DO KNOW THIS
There is a section of Hwy 299 that has some tight curves after Whiskeytown Lake, 15 MPH stuff that I swear turns more than 180 degrees. I was not towing, but the road was muddy/wet/snowy and took some patience to negotiate.
It did spark some interest in getting back up there with the DS bike, Camp somewhere before the tight curves and ride or truck the bike into the forest.
Wish I could have checked things out a little more.
I think it might be tough to find anywhere to ride once you get over the mountain towards the coast, all State or national parks.
